Biology

Azurill is a round, blue mouse Pokémon. It has circular ears with pink insides. There are two white dots on its cheeks, and it has black eyes. Its thin, black, zigzagging tail has a large blue ball at the end. The ball is bouncy and packed with the nutrients it needs to be able to grow. The ball can also be used as a flotation device. It can be seen bouncing and playing on this rubbery tail. The tail can also be spun around like a lasso. When the tail is thrown, the body can go as far as 33 feet (10 meters). It uses its tail for fighting opponents bigger than itself. It lives at the water's edge.

NPC appearances

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Explorers of Time and Explorers of Darkness: Azurill is one of the residents of Treasure Town. He gets captured by Drowzee, and is forced to get treasure for him, but is rescued by the player's team. Azurill and his older brother, Marill, continue to search for the item Water Float, hearing that there's one at the beach. Soon after, Azurill and Marill find out that it is at Amp Plains, and ask if the player and his/her partner could get it. Later on, Azurill falls into an unwakeable nightmare, and the player has to get Drowzee's help to look into his dream.

Pokédex entries

Azurill spins its tail as if it were a lasso, then hurls it far. The momentum of the throw sends its body flying, too. Using this unique action, one of these Pokémon managed to hurl itself a record 33 feet.

Trivia

With Huge Power, Azurill can reach the highest Attack stat of all Baby Pokémon, capping at a maximum of 304.

Polka dots are known in Japan as 水玉 mizutama, literally meaning water balls. This might explain why Azurill is known as the Polka Dot Pokémon.

This name also reflects the way Azurill is indirectly related with Water.

Prior to Generation VI, because Azurill's gender ratio does not match that of its evolved forms and its evolution is not dependent on gender, being female 75% of the time while Marill and Azumarill are female only 50% of the time, female Azurill has a 1/3 chance of evolving into a male Marill (depending on its personality value). Azurill is the only Pokémon to do this. In Generation VI, Azurill retains its gender upon evolving, despite the gender ratios still differing.
